“I’ll try to get the energy on my slalom skis for two more races. But I’m currently in an unfavorable phase of my menstrual cycle, so somehow I’m even more tired,” said the American to ORF reporter Alina Zellhofer, who then communicated understanding. However, the translator made an amusing mistake at this point: “I don’t even get to ride my bike, which I do every month,” he said. The English word “cycle” used by Shiffrin is derived from the word “cycling” disastrously similar.
On Thursday, Shiffrin posted a video on Instagram that first showed the TV faux pas and then she herself training on the home trainer. It is underlined with a classic from Queen: “Bicycle Race”.
She made it clear below the video: “Just in case anyone else is confused…it’s my period. We’re talking about my period.” Shiffrin received a lot of encouragement on social media after the interview, as menstruation is still often considered a taboo topic. Many women also thanked her for her openness under Thursday’s video.
